“Unlocking the Potential of Kubernetes Clusters with Loft Labs’ Virtualization Innovation”

It may seem like a paradox to have virtualized Kubernetes clusters. Loft Labs saw a similar problem with resource utilization in Kubernetes clusters that VMware saw with server utilization, and has built a virtualization tool to make them more efficient by sharing common underlying applications. Loft Labs lets users share these common applications with multiple virtual clusters in the same way that VMs share server resources. “We’re essentially turning many clusters into one cluster, and then have virtual clusters on top of the common applications,” CEO Lukas Gentele told TechCrunch. And the thing that we learned was the problem of sharing Kubernetes clusters, isolating tenants in the cluster and how hard it is.
